[QUOTE="jakeman, post: 2438108, member: 10690"] That's soil side corrosion, and you are screwed, like a house cat. If the shelter is made from carbon steel, and isn't blasted to an SSPC SP10, and then a coating that is resistant to cathodic disbondment isn't properly applied, the corrosion rate will be exponentially faster than what you would see take place in "atmospheric" exposure. If they bury the steel in concrete, not only will that keep it from floating out of the hole, the high pH of the concrete will passiviate the steel, and it will corrode at a much, much slower rate. jakeman - NACE #7455 (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) Sorry about your luck. Here's the good news, unless or until the shelter becomes unusable because of the corrosion, it will still protect you in the event of a horrible wind storm. I wouldn't jerk it out of the ground unless or until it becomes unusable. [/QUOTE]
